never even had a tooth pulled my teeth have held up pretty well no cavities but I am thinking there must be an infectious thing around the surgical area where they sawed off bone and repleced with a metal plate
one reason why i think my teeth and gums are healthy other than the surgery is when I was little my mon kept lots of vit c chewables for us around and I would eat them like candy, I would get in trouble I would eat so much. Also my parents had an organic garden we would eat from and mostly veg diet!! We did not have sweets in the house either.
go figure with the teeth the rest of my health has been strange to say the least
